Welcome to the Debut Author Giveaway Hop! Every blogger participating in this hop is giving away a book that was published by a first-time author in 2014! For my giveaway, I am offering one of my favorite books this year:

About this book:
Nora Fischer’s dissertation is stalled and her boyfriend is about to marry another woman. During a miserable weekend at a friend’s wedding, Nora gets lost and somehow walks through a portal into a different world, with only her copy of Pride and Prejudice in her back pocket. There, she meets glamorous, charming Ilissa, who introduces her to a new world of decadence and riches. Nora herself feels different: more attractive; more popular. Soon, her romance with the gorgeous, masterful Raclin is heating up. It’s almost too good to be true.

Then the elegant veneer shatters. Nora’s new fantasy world turns darker, a fairy tale gone incredibly wrong. Making it here will take skills Nora never learned in graduate school. Her only real ally -- and a reluctant one at that -- is the magician Aruendiel, a grim, reclusive figure with a biting tongue and a shrouded past. And it will take her becoming Aruendiel’s student -- and learning real magic herself -- to survive. When a passage home finally opens, Nora must weigh her “real life” against the dangerous power of love and magic.

One lucky winner will receive a copy of The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic: A Novel, by Emily Croy Barker in his or her choice of paperback (US only) or eBook (international)! Enter through the Rafflecopter form below. This giveaway ends at 11:59 PM EST on December 11, 2014.
